go fish (inc)

Go Fish (or simply "Fish") is a simple card game that I played as a child.
I was quite surprised to find it included in Tim Hartnell's book (The Big Fat Book of Computer Games)!
I had to read up on the game (@ wikipedia) because I had no idea of the game's rules.
Tim's version starts with 5 cards for each player (instead of 7) but apart from that seemed normal.

I (and others) have posted text based versions of the game (in the General sub-forum. I had a problem with the game hanging (whcih may have been a windows "thing"). Sadly, no one had any idea why.

Anyway, this version works fine and includes card images (which resize as appropriate if the drawing area is resized.

Enjoy.

I climbed mighty mountains, and saw that they were actually tiny foothills. :)
